I told her that was very, very sweet
of her, but was she sure she wouldn't rather choose one of these other
women? I am not very exciting.

She was very firm with me. "Mom, you are VERY strong and courageous and I am writing about you."

"My mommy is brave and courageous because she acts calm even though she is afraid of spiders."

Then
at Girl Scouts, while the other girls were sharing about Gracie Gold
and Rosa Parks, Delaney told them that her mom always stays calm, even
when there are spiders.

I do aspire to be strong and courageous for my girls, and teach them that they can be and do anything they want, to offer them many different opportunities to see what can be possible for them. It's moments like these that I know I am
doing the right thing, choosing to stay home and
teach my girls. ♥

Philosophy

Children are natural learners, and given the right tools at the right ages, will soak up virtually any concept introduced to them. At our house, we experiment with all sorts of various learning materials and continue to be astounded with the learning capacity of our children when opportunities are presented to them!

The most important thing I can teach my own girls is to LOVE learning. I want to instill an enduring curiosity in them, and hope they will grow up needing to know just exactly how and why things work the way they do.
